You must explicitly make the Numpy array's have dtype float as numpy does not automatically convert Sage's RealNumber to a float. If you don't do this, the array's dtype will be "object'. sage: vp = np.array([1.0, 5.0, 10.0, 20.0, 40.0, 60.0, 100.0, 200.0, 400.0, 760.0],dtype=float) sage: T = np.array([-36.7, -19.6, -11.5, -2.6, 7.6, 15.4, 26.1, 42.2, 60.6, 80.1], dtype=float) sage: np.polyfit(vp,T,3) array([ 1.13148994e-06, -1.49004659e-03, 6.12784745e-01, -2.13934587e+01]) There are other ways to achieve a similar effect such as turning off the Sage preparser with "preparser(False)" or making Sage's RealNumber an alias of float ("RealNumber = float"). --Mike --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ To post to this group, send email to sage-support@googlegroups.com To unsubscribe from this group, send email to sage-support-unsubscr...@googlegroups.com For more options, visit this group at http://groups.google.com/group/sage-support URLs: http://www.sagemath.org -~----------~----~----~----~------~----~------~--~---
